Goodbye

This has been my last night in Washington for a while, it is pretty sad.  I did not know it was still going to be so difficult to say goodbye and leave again.  I get excited to go back to school and have fun and everything, but then I remember how things really are and I guess that is why it so hard to go back.  I just want to be done with school, move out on my own and start my life!  Why can't college be how it is on TV and movies?  Or maybe it is and the real problem is me.

The New Year

It is 2011; wow, time has gone by pretty fast.  I have been home for winter break for about three weeks now, and I have one more week before I have to go back to school.  I have mixed emotions about going back; I am excited for classes to start up again and have stuff to do, but at the same time I am going to miss my friends and family back here in Washington.  I feel like I have gotten closer to a few of my friends here over this break, which is cool and exciting, but it just makes it that much harder to leave once again.  I know I will be back in a few months for summer and have a whole bunch of time to hang out and what not, but I still get sad knowing I have to leave in a week; I'm going to miss people.  It will go fast though once I get back in the swing of things with classes and stuff, staying busy is the key, and I'll have some fun along the way.

I finished up last semester and am now ready for the next one.  I'm getting a new roommate, someone from Las Vegas, so that should be interesting.  I will be taking 15 credits, five classes, one of which is my junior-level writing requirement, so I should be pretty busy.  I will be looking for a job also, hopefully I can find one because I plan to move off campus for my junior year, so I will be looking in to and figuring things out for that also.  I will also still be an active member in the BSU and it's step team.  These things should keep me busy and prevent me from being too homesick.  I just keep telling myself with the technology today, it is still pretty easy to stay connect and communicate with friends.  I do not have a ton of friends, which is why I want to remain close to the ones I do have because finding good, trustworthy friends is not an easy task.  I am grateful for all the people I can hang out with and have a good time, but I am especially grateful for those few people I can talk to about anything, with no judgment, and of course still be able to have a good time.
